Abstract (en)

Method of treating a tumor in a mammal comprises administering to said mammal an effective anti-tumor amount of proteases originating from microorganisms.Method of treating a tumor in a mammal comprises administering to said mammal an effective anti-tumor amount of a protease originating from a microorganism which protease is chemically modified by one of the following procedures:a) coupling with a saccharide,b) introduction of a hydrophobic polymeric group,c) alteration of electric charge of the protein surface,d) conjugation with a low molecular weight anti-tumor agent of molecular weight less than 2,000,e) formation of dimer or oligomer by cross-linking of protease molecules,f) conjugation with a synthetic polycation,g) conjugation with a synthetic polyanion, andh) combination of the above-mentioned procedures.Microorganism protease is chemically modified by one of the following procedures:a) coupling with a saccharide,b) introduction of a hydrophobic polymeric group,c) alteration of electric charge of the protein surface,d) conjugation with a low molecular weight anti-tumor agent of molecular weight less than 2,000,e) formation of dimer or oligomer by cross-linking of protease molecules,f) conjugation with a synthetic polycation,g) conjugation with a synthetic polyanion, andh) combination of the above-mentioned procedures.
